The B1G is the biggest issue IMO. They could very well have 3 teams that could cause a problem.

Michigan loses to Penn St in two weeks in Happy Valley
Penn St loses to Ohio St in Columbus
Michigan beats Ohio St in Ann Arbor
Michigan wins B1G CG

You'd have:

12-1 Michigan with a win over Ohio St
11-1 Penn St with a win over Michigan
11-1 Ohio St with a win over Penn St

And if Utah wins the Pac 12 it'll be hard to keep out a 1 loss team who played half the season with their 3rd string QB and has a nonconference win over Florida. They already have 1 top 25 win and play 3 more top 10 teams plus a conference championship game. There's absolutely no way the SEC gets 2 in and they very well could get left out entirely

It's not a 3 team B10, but the fact that there are so many more deserving teams from all the P5 conferences. A lot of losses have to occur when you consider that the SEC currently has a losing record against P5 conferences, and will probably end up with a losing record or tie at best.

As an aside, and it doesn't effect your argument at all, but in the scenario you give, but looking at the B10 tie-breaking rules, I think the tie-breaker for the CG will be drawing straws.
